GLOBAL TIPPING POINTS AND THE ROLE OF RESEARCH EUROPEAN UNION AND ASIA-PACIFIC MIGRATION SUMMIT I 3

Today, we live in a world where the number of people forcibly displaced across the world has reached more than 65 million people. This is a global crisis of truly staggering proportions. As a result, governments and communities worldwide struggle to provide effective solutions for the unprecedented numbers of people fleeing war, instability or persecution.

But as the UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres has said “We are witnessing a paradigm change, an unchecked slide into an era in which the scale of global forced displacement as well as the response required is now clearly dwarfing anything seen before.”

That paradigm shift is one involving globalisation and the communications revolution as deeply entwined with 21st century enforced migrations. There is, of course, nothing new about enforced migration. Yet the difference is that we live in a time now of instantaneous communications, where new information technologies and globalisation mean that we need to create new social and political responses that can better respond to these challenges.

The research we conduct at the Hawke EU Centre for Mobilities, Migrations and Cultural Transformations (Hawke EU Centre) at the University of South Australia highlights that the digital revolution has an uprooting effect for almost everyone, and this is especially evident in the transformed landscape of enforced migration. Many of the migrants fleeing from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan into Europe used smart phones to navigate their way, to send texts to other family members en route, and even check on how the authorities in different EU countries were responding to the crisis. This clearly shows that migration is no longer a regional issue, but is global and thoroughly mediated by the digital revolution.

The combined forces of globalisation and the digital revolution might also spell further problems for multiculturalism. The idea of multiculturalism took root before globalisation reached the levels of extensity it has attained today. Proponents of multiculturalism tend to assume that ethnic cultures have clear-cut boundaries, and are unchanging over time, but this is no longer so in a world of super diversity.

Global Tipping Points and the Role of Research: European Union and Asia-Pacific Migration Summit 2016 is hosted by the Hawke EU Centre at the University of South Australia. The Summit is a catalyst for collaboration between politicians, policy analysts, public intellectuals, academics, public servants, civic activists, and representatives of migrant and asylum communities seeking the most effective social, cultural and political responses to the asylum debate. The Summit also features dynamic and interactive sessions, such as various Roundtable sessions.

Identifying the global challenges involved here is at the core of the work of the Hawke EU Centre for Mobilities, Migrations and Cultural Transformations at UniSA, and we do this through cultural outreach programmes and EU-focused research, including projects designed to build understanding about the intersections of freely chosen mobilities (travel, transport and tourism) and enforced migration (refugees and asylum seekers).

As a joint venture between UniSA and the European Commission the Hawke EU Centre is contributing to the narrative framework on the issue of migration, developing concepts and bringing to light fresh ideas, through workshops and conferences, to create a repository of EU expertise in migration, diasporas, refugees and reconciliation.

I am delighted that the Hawke EU Centre is hosting this important Summit. On behalf of the Hawke EU Centre, we are pleased to welcome you to this Summit. My hope is that the Summit will engage you in creating bold ideas with an exceptionally diverse group of key thinkers, advocates and citizens.

ABSTRACTS‘WE REFUGEES’: HARDENING AND SOFTENING OF BORDERS OF EVERYDAY LIFE

PROFESSOR ALISON PHIPPS

We have been here before. Refugees have come and asked for sanctuary before. We have found beds, rooms, work, a place for making a home, a livelihood and we have kneaded the aesthetics of new relationships into food, families, facts and fun, together. Here we find an offer of hospitality.

We have been here before. We have closed the doors, built higher walls, split families up and spit out their members across continents as a punishment for being alive in the wrong place at the wrong time. Here we find at best condi-tional hospitality.

“It is as though the laws (plural) of hospitality, in marking limits, power rights, and duties, consisted in challenging and transgressing the law of hospitality, the one that would command that the ‘new arrival’ be offered an un-conditional welcome.” Derrida 2000, 77

And we have been here before. In the uneasy, hesitant, shy and awkward approaches to people we do not yet know and in places we do not call home. We have marked limits, we have been challenged and we have transgressed.Whilst data and evidence, statistics and measures domi-nate the mapping of the policy landscape it is to the arts and humanities traditions of affect, poetry and thought that I shall turn to consider how it is, once again, in this time and place, that we might consider, anew, a sharing of the world. Drawing on the work of the AHRC Translating Cultures Large Grant: researching Multilingually at the Bor-ders of the body, language, law and the state I shall share the forms of creation and decreation which accompany any serious consideration of or action towards hospitality. In so doing I shall reflect on the bordering processes with-in the academy and use poetry to mark some of the limits to our hospitalities.

BREAKING THE POLICY DEADLOCK: INVESTIGATING RIGHTS-BASED RESPONSES TO FLIGHT BY SEA

EMERITUS PROFESSOR GILLIAN TRIGGS

This presentation will focus on the findings of recent research by the Australian Human Rights Commission focusing on rights-based policy responses to the flight of asylum seekers by sea. With Australia’s current policy of third country processing having reached an impasse, the Commission’s research sought to identify options for responding to flight by sea in manner which is consistent with Australia’s international human rights obligations. The research report outlines a range of options for creating and enhancing pathways to durable protection for people fleeing persecution. It is hoped that the research will help to stimulate and inform public discussion about alterna-tives to Australia’s current policy approach.

CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS? REFUGEES, ASYLUM AND MIGRATION IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

DR JEFF CRISP

For more than a year, the media headlines and the speeches of politicians around the world have been dominated by references to a “global refugee and migra-tion crisis” This presentation will interrogate that notion, seeking to answer a series of questions about the current situation of refugees and migrants and the international community’s response to it. To what extent is “crisis” an appropriate way of describing that situation? What are the key trends and developments that have prompted so many commentators, including academics, to make use of that concept? How effective has the international community been in responding to those trends and devel-opments? What conclusions can be drawn from the recent UN Refugee and Migration Summit held in New York? And what is Australia’s role in this global scenario?

BEARING WITNESS: FORCED MIGRATION IN THE AGE OF GLOBALISATION

PROFESSOR PAL AHUWALIA

On 23 June 2016, a hard fought campaign for the future of the UK’s membership of the European Union culminated in the decision to leave following a referendum. This was a momentous, albeit close decision, where 52 percent of the voting population determined the fate of all UK citizens. Although the UK has not formally moved to exit the EU, the ramifications of the decision have been widespread. It has cost the former Prime Minister David Cameron his job, and a new PM, Theresa May, and cabinet has been chosen, with those wishing to leave amply rewarded. The UK economy has suffered, as predicted by the Treasury, and the currency markets have reacted with the pound being at its weakest in over thirty years. How-ever, it is not only the economy and UK politics that have been radically altered.

A referendum that ultimately became bogged down over the issue of migration and refugees, as well as the inability to control one’s borders, challenged the very assertion that ever-increasingly we now live in an integrated, con-nected and interdependent world. The ‘leave decision’ has also resulted in an unprecedented 42 percent increase in race motivated attacks across the country and seemed to be the licence to return to the racism of the 1970s. We now need to consider the implications of Brexit, for globalisation and the very idea of the free movement of goods and people. It may take nearly a decade for the UK to leave the EU, as the process of disentanglement takes places. Nevertheless, the idea of Europe, which was vital to its stability and prosperity, is itself shaken. Brexit seems, on the face of it, a regression and a triumph of nationalism over any sense of European, regional or global integration. This key note will focus on the issues of forced migration that was the subject of the recent United Nations high-level plenary meeting on large movements of refugees and migrants.
